Local Collection

Sending Luggage Abroad from Fourways

Fourways and the estates to the north, such as Dainfern, Cedar Lakes, Steyn City and the Kyalami estates, have strict access control, so we book collections with estate security in advance and send the driver's details the day before.

Families here often send sports equipment, school items and household goods ahead of a move. Bulky items like bicycles and golf bags are fine by sea, and can go by air if you need them quickly.

Two Options

Door to Airport or Door to Door

Door to airport (CFR): recommended

Includes collection, customs clearance in South Africa, airline handling in South Africa and transport to the destination airport. You clear it and collect it at the destination.
Excludes destination clearance, depot or terminal charges at the destination, storage and examination fees if stopped, and AMS filing for sea freight to the USA.

Door to door (DAP)

Available to some countries only, and much more expensive. Includes collection, delivery to your door abroad, customs clearance in South Africa and at the destination, airline handling and all transport fees.
Excludes storage and examination fees if customs stops the shipment, and AMS filing for sea freight to the USA.

Our tip: save by clearing it yourself

Door to airport is by far the cheaper option. You pay the airline handling fee at the destination, process customs yourself with your passport and the inventory, and collect your baggage at the airport. Ask us for both prices and we will tell you what the destination's customs office will ask for.
